Actually, Fleury and Ramage, whom I specifically mentioned, both stepped up big time when Suter was injured in the playoffs. They split his PP time, and Ramage moved up to the #1 D pairing until Suter was able to return. So yes, they did actually win because their 4th line and 3rd pairing were as good as they were.

Again those 4 players you are talking about are a ridiculous measuring stick. By your definition there have been how many elite C’s in the history of the game?

If you're not even in the top third of #1 centres at a given time, how does that make you elite at your position? That's where Gilmour and Nieuwendyk were then.
